A finished bike looks simple: a frame, two wheels, handlebars and a saddle. Behind that simplicity sits a drawing in which every line has a reason. Long before the first tube is welded, the model exists as a diagram with exact dimensions — and how well those dimensions are chosen decides how the bike will ride.
Take the Hartman Aeromax AMP. On the drawing it is not a silhouette but a set of matched figures: 1,760 mm long, 1,020 mm to the saddle, 720 mm bar width, 29-inch wheels, a 19-inch frame. Every one of those numbers is a decision.
Change one figure and the whole behaviour of the bike changes. That is why we do not eyeball the numbers: we bring them together into a single diagram and check them before production. That is the diagram you see at the top of this article.
Caring about details means working on what you would never notice at a glance. How the chain is routed and how shifting behaves under load. How the cassette sits and whether the clearances are enough. How the fork copes with small chatter. None of this makes it into advertising, yet it is exactly what decides whether a bike is a pleasure to ride.
One area of the drawing gets its own attention: the rear triangle and the drivetrain. We draw them in detail because this is where strength, crisp shifting and wear allowance all meet. It determines how the model will survive those tens of thousands of kilometres.
A good bike is not a lucky build. It is the sum of considered decisions, every one of them made back at the drawing stage.
Once the geometry is settled, the dimensions agree and the assemblies check out, the drawing becomes working documentation — and then a bike at our production site in Russia. The same approach stands behind every model in the catalogue: precise calculation first, metal second.

Introducing the new Hartman Force City 2026 — a city bike built for modern urban riding. Considered design, dependable components and a clean, precise look.
Coming soon — the Hartman E-Power electric bike. A capable motor, long range and modern design for comfortable riding over any distance.
One of our customers sent us a screenshot from his app: his Hartman bike has 39,451 kilometres on it, covered over four-plus seasons. Here is what stands behind that number.
The Hartman dealer in Yoshkar-Ola has been running the city's bike parade for three years in a row, backed by the city administration. This year a record 6,000 people came to the start line, and the race winners took home more than seven bikes courtesy of Hartman.
